The loudest among those calls is Rep. Sean Maloney, who held the same position as Porter under former President Bill Clinton.

White House legislative director Marc Short denied that Trump personally waived Porter's interim security clearance, as the Federal Bureau of Investigation made further checks on his background, to allow him to handle the highly classified documents that flow to the president's desk.

"Someone whom we know and trusted and worked with came to the president and the chief of staff and said, 'I'm being accused of these things".

Yet the White House's handling of the matters, specifically Porter, has largely focused on Kelly.

On Friday another aide, speechwriter David Sorensen, resigned after his former wife claimed he was violent and emotionally abusive. He had denied the allegations and alleged that he "was the victim of repeated physical violence" during his marriage.

Kelly has come under fire in the wake of Porter's resignation amid reports that the chief of staff knew about the allegations against Porter for months and failed to act.

Gophers complete weekend sweep of Badgers
In order to close out games going forward, MI will need to perform in a similar fashion at the line as they did today. Wisconsin: The Badgers trailed at home by at least 19 points at the half for the third time this season.

"I do think if you put on a political hat, that is a big problem, certainly how we are viewed as Republicans in the next election", Flake added. "Some are true and some are false".

Others in the White House told the newspaper that Mr Kelly had known of the complaints since October.

Still, Conway dismissed the notion that the more than dozen women who have accused Trump of sexual assault deserve due process.

Jessica Corbett described their chaotic marriage to The Washington Post, including allegations that Sorensen ran over her foot with a vehicle, put out a cigarette on her hand and threw her into a wall.

"I think the president, like the rest of us, were shocked and disturbed by the allegations", Conway said on ABC's This Week.

The tendency to avoid, deny, or cover up abuse is never really about power, or money, or an old boys' club.

Trump has reportedly been furious over the fallout from the scandal, leading to the speculation over Kelly's job security. He said very strongly yesterday that he's innocent'. The president tweeted, "Peoples lives are being shattered and destroyed by a mere allegation". "But we absolutely wish him well".
